The steps for boiling an egg are as follows: 
1. Place the egg in a pot of water and bring the water to a boil. 
2. Once the water has reached a boil, turn off the heat and let the egg sit in the hot water for 8-10 minutes (for a hard boiled egg). 
3. Remove the egg from the pot, cool it in cold water, and peel it.
